Watch this video

In this module, we have seen that:

• For a fire to start, three things are needed: a source of ignition, fuel, oxygen.
• A fire risk assessment can identify whether existing fire precautions are adequate.

The five step process to a fire risk assessment is:

1. Identify fire hazards.
2. Identify people at risk.
3. Evaluate, remove or reduce and protect from risk.
4. Record, plan, inform, instruct and train.
5. Review.
